their arrest was committed about

of robberies of the boldest character
have been perpetrated here lately,
which are now laid at the door Of
these young culprits. They all have

Recent Postal Ruling.
PRINTING ON ENVELOPES RAISES CERTAIN
THIRD-CLAss MATTER TO FIRST.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2O.-General
dissatisfaction is felt here among mer-
chants and grand army posts and other
organizations because of the recent in
depreciation OF the postal laws. The
new reading of the law subjects third
class or "circular" matter. which form
-rly went for Que cent, to first-class
postage If on the envelopes is any
printed matter other than the name
and address of the sender. Consequent
ly, when Meade Post, No. 1, G. A. r..
sent a batch of circulars to its members
yesterday with picture of Philadsl
phia's soldier idol on the envelope, put
ting one cent stamps on them, they
we're returned to the postofiice with
the notification that another cent would
be required.
A postoffice official took one of the
envelopes, blue penciled the picture of
Meade and the word "Headquarters, u
leaving "Meade Post, No. l, 119
Chestnut street" as an illustration OF
what would go for cent. The case
has greatly disturbed merchants and
organizations which have large stocks
of envelopes which would not go as
third class matter under this interpre
tation. One firm has 100000 such
envelopes on hand and another $780,.
900.
